Doma struck down....only applies in 11 states who allow same sex marriages....(could be a problem for states that allow same sex unions.)

.... So this forces people to accept ‘gay marriages’ in states that allow same sex marriage....thru this decision ...that now gives them benefits.

Do I have it right?

Yes, but not until after a half zillion Equal Protection cases forcing the other states to honor the marriages from the 11 "progressive" states.

I haven't read the opinion yet but I'd be astonished if they did not touch upon the fallout in the dissent. After all, DOMA was passed with the specific intent of curing the Equal Protection issue.

I think you are correct, as I understand it.
